Value-added panel of the World Bank's Women, Business and the Law 2026 scores (keyless World Bank API v2, CC BY 4.0): one row per economy for 2025 with the three pillar indices — Legal Framework, Supportive Framework, Enforcement Perceptions — and the 10 topic x 3 pillar scores (Mobility, Work, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Childcare, Entrepreneurship, Assets, Pension, Safety), plus derived implementation-gap signals (law on the books vs enforcement in practice), pillar ranks and weakest/strongest topics. The legal-equality layer for gender, governance and ESG/country-risk models; joins on economy_code with the catalog's other World Bank panels.
